Title
Resolution to Approve a Purchase Order for the Rental of Refuse Trucks from Premier Truck Sales & Rental Inc. (Sourcewell - NTE $286,900.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution approves the rental of refuse trucks at a total cost not to exceed $286,900.00 from Premier Truck Sales & Rental for use by the Public Services Area, Public Works Unit. Premier Truck Sales & Rental of Valley View, OH was awarded a contract for rental refuse trucks under the Sourcewell (#110223-THC) cooperative purchasing programs.
The City rents refuse trucks each fall as part of our leaf pickup program. It is not cost effective for the City to own and maintain this additional equipment year-round so rental equipment is an excellent solution. Additionally, the City will have occasion to rent equipment to deal with short term needs related to specific events (student move-out, etc.) or that result from a vehicle being out of service for repairs for an extended period.
Public Works has requested the rental of five 25 yard read load refuse trucks for three months each for leaf pickup. At the rate of $8,600.00 per month, those trucks rent for $129,000.00. Pickup and delivery currently runs $500.00 per truck, each way, for an additional $5,000.00. With the uncertainty of leaf collection season, we included a contingency of $30,000.00 to cover additional rental time if needed, for an estimated total of $164,000.00 for the leaf collection program equipment. An additional $122,900.00 has been added to the resolution to cover additional non-leaf pickup rental trucks for FY25. This includes a side load refuse truck that is currently being rented per the request from Public Works to help with compost collection and a rear load truck that is needed with the delayed delivery of the EV refuse truck ordered in June 2021. These additional funds may also include special events, unexpected breakdowns, or additional routes needed for refuse trucks.
